    Parrots are usually presumed to be able to talk. Actually, they can mimic the human vocal dialect to high degrees of accuracy. Or so it is said.

    More to the point: can they actually talk? And if so, what is the science behind it all?

    In reality, we cannot say that parrots can speak in the sense of conversing with an understanding of the meaning of the sounds emitted. The parrots imitate sounds and words that they hear and recognize. And they succeed thanks to the physical conformation of their respiratory system, very similar to the human one.
